| 2011-01-26 |
| SEOUL, Jan. 26 (Yonhap) -- South Korea said Wednesday it has proposed holding working-level military talks with North Korea on Feb. 11, in what would be their first dialogue since the North's deadly bombardment of a border island in November. The proposed inter-Korean talks, which would be held at the border truce village of Panmunjom, are aimed at setting the time, place and agenda for a higher-level military meeting, said Kim Min-seok, a spokesman at the South's defense ministry. North Korea has yet to respond to the South's proposal made via a military communications line at Panmunjom, Kim said. The talks are expected to be led by Col. Moon Sang-gyun of the South and Col. Ri Son-kwon of the North, who have served as representatives of working-level military talks from each side for years. But the level of representatives is likely to be upgraded to general-level officers, depending on the North's response, Kim said. |

| #1 The DPRK is once again threatening to make a "PHYSICAL RESPONSE" to upcoming new US-ROK Drills. * ION PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > CHINA'S LANZHOU MILITARY REGION VERSUS RUSSIA'S [new]CENTRAL MILITARY DISTRICT. Despite national reorg, Russia's new Central Military District is deemed as unable to match China's powerful Lanzhou MR. ANALYSTS > CHINA is able to "control" KRGYZSTAN + TAIJIKISTAN in Central Asia vee Russia by using potent economics-only based measures - however, it will be difficult iff not impossible for Chin to achieve same with KAZAKHISTAN; RUSSIA'S CENTRAL MILITARY DISTRICT IS DEEMED AS UNABLE TO MIL INTIMIDATE CHINA AS PER CHINA'S STRATEGIC NORTHEAST INDUSTRIAL REGION NOR AS PER THE RUSS FAR EAST. * SAME > SOUTH CHINA SEAS CLASH POSSIBLE? ARTIC = There is little evidence that the bulk of Smaller ASEAN = SCS States are willing to give up sovereignty nor make serious compromises wid China as per CHIN-CLAIMED DISPUTED SCS ISLANDS. CHINA IN LT MAY BE WILLING TO UNILATER TAKE/GRAB BY MIL FORCE WHAT IT IS UNABLE TO PROCURE VIA POLITICAL, ECON REGIONAL DIPLOMACY. |
